19 million albums doesn't mean he has $20 million, it has to be split amongst the guys, spent on band expenses ect. And don't forget only a small percentage of the record sale actually goes to the band. I'd be suprised if Dave had $2 million.

"Mustaine's suit, which seeks damages to be determined, was filed in response to Ellefson's original action, filed July 12 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, which alleges that co-founding guitarist David Mustaine breached their long-running partnership agreement. He claims Mustaine wrongfully took the lion's share of the band's gross income (estimated at more than $200 million since 1984) for himself and cut Ellefson out of the band's music publishing and merchandise revenues "

Dave is loaded. :wave:

Dudes, you know you get money from record deals too? ;)

Robbie Williams recently got signed in England for £80m. That's a huge contract, but if 'Deth got even a fraction of that for like a 6 album deal, they'd be loaded. Plus merchandise, music sales and the money Dave probably makes on like... Gigantour.

:smash:

Hmm I guess so. Can't somebody post it on the Megadeth forums?
"Dave how much money do you have?"

Dave: Well, let's just say I can have any girl I want. ;)

And that's all you need

He'd kick you off the forums or something. He seems like a pretty scary guy.

Naw I've heard he's really cool

other then breaking peoples lgs and stuff

I don't have any posts on the forum anyway. I'm too scared to post.

:lol: me too. I dont know what to say. :lol:

LoL

My friend and I make up all these jokes of Dave breaking peoples legs...
it's almost one of those things you have to see to get

Because he broke that dude who dissed Lars' leg right. Methinks he should've just saved us all and broken Lars' so he could never play drums again.

That would have been so cool!

I wonder what Tallica would be like without him?

There probably wouldn't be much of a Metallica without Lars. He is a crappy drummer but he is a good business man.

Yea..that's true.

I bet Dave could have drummed better then Lars (I wouldn't be suprised
Dave has talant)

You never know, I'd say he probably is seeing as he writes a lot of drums for Megadeth ( I think)

I havnt heard that but The man is amazing with music

Well on a hell of a lot of songs the only credits are "Mustaine"

Yep. that's true

I want to see Dave and James H jam together

Drummers are often not given writing credits, in many genres and bands.

Just a sad fact.

However... In the Remastered RIP, he mentions about 'My Creation' that it was a beat he'd been playing around with since High School or something stupid like that. So I guess he drums.

Well I guess after being around drums for 20+ years you are bound to learn at some point.

Then why does Lars have songwriting credits on almost every Metallica song?

[QUOTE=FaceInTheSky]Then why does Lars have songwriting credits on almost every Metallica song?[/QUOTE]
He writes lyrics I think and tries to write guitar parts. And the drum tracks.

I didn't say no drummers get recognition. Just some don't get writing credits.

And he arranges the songs, like structure and stuff. Him and James write most of them. He tells James what sounds like arse.

How would he know what sounds like arse? Doesn't he ever listen to his own drumtracks?

Owned!

Okay back to MegaDeth

Do you guys think Dave is as good of a lead guitarist as Kirk?

He's not as good a lead player but he is a better all around player.

And can we please stop with these conversations

I think Lars gets writing credits because he helps arrange the songs.

What do you guys think is the best album cover? I like Rust In Peace and the original KIMB.

Probably [i]Rust In Peace[/i], although none of Megadeth's artwork is particularly great.

Youthanasia and the Remastered KIMB.

The System has Failed is cool but the best is probably Rust in Peace

I was just watching the Hangar 18 video if anyone wants to see it.

I think Cryptic Writings was way too under rated. That album was good, man!!! It IS good!!!

I don't really care for much of their stuff post RIP.

CTE? TSHF?

those albums are great.

oh yeah CW?

Same as Rust in Peace.. Polaris, he says it was his drum rhythm (At least for the intro of the included [Demo] song), I think he took drumming lessons some time in his life?

He probably programmed a drum machine to do that rhythm and then told Menza to play it like it was on the drum machine. Anyway, how is that "My Creation" song? I don't have the RIP remaster
